four ripe bananas, peeled, sliced and mashed in a large mixing bowl. TIP: use a potato masher to mash the bananas; if you don’t have a masher, a fork is fine, too.

1/3 cup unsalted melted butter, cooled

1 large egg, beaten

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup sugar (a bit less if the bananas are super ripe)

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon

1.5 cups of flour

Four bananas. These should be ripened some more before using to make banana bread.

Using a potato masher to mash the bananas.

Into the banana bowl, add in the butter, egg, vanilla and sugar. In a separate bowl, mix the baking soda, salt, cinnamon and flour. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. The batter will be thick and have a caramel-like colour.

Pour the batter into a buttered 5 by 6 inch baking dish. Bake for 45 minutes in a pre-heated 350° oven. Cool before serving.
